About Kuan Cathaoir Uilleann

Is cathaoir uilleann é Kuan atá deartha do spásanna cónaithe comhaimseartha. Tá an struchtúr simplí gan mhaisiúlacht, ag comhcheangal miotail le clúdach olla. Léiríonn toirt an tsuíocháin, línte an chreata agus an codarsnacht idir foirmeacha soladacha agus folmha carachtar cúlánta na fealsúnachta oirthearaí. Tá an clúdach déanta d'fhabraic olla allmhairithe, cobhsaithe trí phróiseas traidisiúnta chun dromchla mín a chruthú a bhfuil dea-fhriotaíocht in aghaidh caitheamh agus pileáil aige. Cuirtear sraitheanna spúinse de dhlúsanna éagsúla le chéile chun suíochán compordach a sholáthar. Tá Kuan ar fáil le hábhair chlúdaithe éagsúla.
